HoneyBetz Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming begins with a clear purpose: entertainment, not income. In Canada, simple habits can keep play enjoyable and predictable. Gambling should never be used to recover debts. It also helps to track both time and spending regularly, not only after a difficult session.
Navigation
If gambling starts to crowd out your normal routines, it may be time to slow down. Practical first steps include setting limits, taking breaks, and reviewing your account activity. If you are unsure, a gambling addiction quiz can help you check for warning patterns. If concerns continue, professional support is available, and acting early makes a difference.
Simple safety habits
- Keep gambling separate from bills, debt, and everyday expenses.
- Write down a budget before you start, then follow it.
- Watch for fatigue, stress, or low mood affecting decisions.
- Use tools that interrupt long sessions and repeated deposits.
Honeybetz Casino Commitment
We focus on prevention, not reaction. That means building controls into the account area and keeping them easy to use. We also monitor for signs of problem gambling behaviour and may contact players who appear to need support. Our team receives regular training to spot concerns and respond with care.
Responsible gaming involves more than money. Compulsive patterns can show up through secrecy, irritability, or using games to escape. When gambling becomes a way to avoid other problems, the impact can extend to finances, relationships, and wellbeing. Most players can enjoy casino games without harm, and clear tools help keep it that way.
Eight responsible gaming rules
- Casino bets are for fun, not a career.
- Never double up to win back losses.
- Set a daily, weekly, or monthly budget you can afford to lose.
- Avoid gambling when drunk, on drugs, tired, or feeling down.
- Track how long you are online and the bets you place.
- Take breaks to stay fresh.
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
- Enjoy yourself.
Preventing Underage Gambling
We do not allow anyone under 18 years of age to open an account. Any minor who attempts to open an account, or anyone who assists an underage person, breaches our Terms & Conditions. Age protection works best when account access and payment details are kept private.
Steps to protect minors
- Do not share your log-in details with anyone.
- Do not enable the “remember password” function on log-in screens.
- Do not share credit card or bank account details with minors.
- Install parental control or internet filter software at home when needed.
Deposit & Session Limit Tools
We provide responsible gaming tools designed to keep control in your hands. These features support safer habits, reduce impulsive decisions, and introduce pauses when play starts to drift. You can set deposit limits, manage session time, and enable reminders while you play. You can also review account history to see deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and wins or losses.
How the tools work
Deposit limits can be set in “My Account” under “Responsible Gaming.” You can use daily, weekly, or monthly limits, or combine them for extra control. If you request an increase or removal, the change takes effect after a short delay. If you lower a limit or set one for the first time, the adjustment applies right away.

|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limits | Immediate (lower/set); 24 hours (increase/remove) |

Self-exclusion and reopening access
Self-exclusion is voluntary and can be set for a definite or indefinite timeframe. Requests for a new self-exclusion, or an extension, are implemented immediately, with no attempts to induce continued play. During self-exclusion, gaming services are not available, but withdrawals remain available. To remove a self-exclusion, you must request it and provide an explanation and evidence that you can manage gambling safely and sustainably.
Recognizing Warning Signs
Recognizing warning signs is a key step toward getting help. Problem gambling can look like chasing losses, hiding play, or needing larger bets more often. It can also involve neglecting work, school, or family obligations. If several signs feel familiar, consider using limits right away and seeking support.
Questions to ask yourself
- Do you spend more time or money gambling than you can afford?
- Do you feel the need to bet more money more frequently?
- Have you tried to cut down or stop but felt unable to?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to stop?
- Have you lied to others to hide your gambling?
If gambling stops being enjoyable, take a pause and use the tools in your account. For questions or concerns, contact our support team, and we will help you choose appropriate safeguards.
